Hot and sour noodles are a special noodle dish in Chongqing. With its Q-elastic taste and sour taste, it has been popular in the domestic street food industry for many years. The authentic Chongqing hot and sour noodles need to be made from sháo flour made by hand from sweet potato flour slurry. When making flour, the chef puts the lumps of sweet potato batter into a sieve, uses patting to filter the batter into strips, and then drops it into boiling water to solidify until it is cooked out of the pot, and the cold water can be filtered for later use. When the customer orders the hot and sour noodles, the chef will boil the prepared noodles in the broth, sprinkle with chili oil, vinegar, fried peanuts, coriander and pour the noodles to serve. All kinds of toppings (side dishes) add a lot of color to the hot and sour noodles. In Chongqing, the common toppings include fat sausages, jelly and pork ribs, etc., each of which is very local and worth trying.
